Severe thrombocytopenia induced by tirofiban after percutaneous coronary intervention: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTirofiban is a nonpeptide glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist used widely in patients subjected to percutaneous coronary intervention. While the usage of tirofiban sets an important clinical benefit, severe thrombocytopenia can occur with use of this agent. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old Chinese man was admitted with 1-month history of sudden onset of chest tightness. He was diagnosed as having subacute inferior myocardial infarction, and percutaneous coronary intervention was performed. After the procedure, patient received tirofiban at 0.15 µg/kg/minute for 4 h. A blood sample was obtained for a complete blood count; severe thrombocytopenia was reported according to routine orders at our hospital. All antiplatelet drugs including tirofiban, aspirin, and clopidogrel were immediately discontinued. The patient received platelet transfusions and was treated with immunoglobulin G. Two days later, the patient's platelet count had increased to 75 × 10
conclusionsClinicians should be particularly aware of tirofiban-induced thrombocytopenia in routine practice.
